●● Raw: Staff Representative Whom Battistelli Drove to Collapse for Wanting to Conduct an EPO Staff Survey (Which Battistelli Had Abolished)

Posted in Europe, Patents at 11:32 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

Summary: An explanation of what Battistelli did to the long-running staff survey, which helped highlight governance and social climate issues that Battistelli severely accentuated

IT IS widely known within the EPO that the person behind this letter collapsed after he had been ‘interrogated’ (i.e. mentally tortured) by Battistelli’s “gestapo” in The Hague. What is not widely known, however, is the reason for it. Over the years people told us it was all to do with a staff survey and we were also told that this person’s spouse was ill-treated by Team Battistelli. As we noted in our last post, Battistelli crushed transparency at the EPO and even his own contract became a secret (unlike his predecessor’s). The letter below mentions very explicitly the difference between the predecessor (Brimelow) and Battistelli, then rationalising the need for the staff survey.

When a staff survey was commissioned by SUEPO about a year later it showed 0% (literally 0) support for Battistelli. No wonder this sort of administration, led by the non-presidential President, suppressed any surveys (unless these could be carefully controlled and distorted, in ways which we explained here before). █
